Data Execution Prevention

Not sure if this is the correct area to post this or not. I am getting a
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) warning when I try and start Itunes. And
can not open the program. A Help window pops up telling me that DEP has
prevented me from opening the program for my own protect and explains
how to add programs should I like. It tells me I need to add the program
to the safe list, by clicking the Add button. Only when I go to do this
the add button is grey and unclickable. How do I get it to be usable?
DEP has caused me probems with other programs recently as well. Have
they updated it, and screwed something up? Windsows is becoming like
"big brother" not allowing me to open programs I have given permission
to down load and use for my own good. Vista is one big pain in the butt,
always having to click permission for everything. Like I was not
thinking when I said
Ok the first time it feels the need to make sure I know what I am
doing.

Did you monkey with the DEP settings? By default it is set for system files
only. Did you set it for all programs? If so, go to the settings screen and
put in an exclusion there.
